Dancing With the Stars 2020 - The First Elimination of Season
"Dancing With the Stars" Week 3 was Disney Night, which should have been filled with great outfits, joy and ABC-Disney corporate synergy.
The "One Day At a Time" star Machado is an emerging "DWTS" star and shot to the top of the leaderboard last week with an exuberant foxtrot. Machado and pro Sasha Farber's Charleston to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from "Mary Poppins" lacked a little of that magic, even as the two took a dive onto the dance floor and popped up, with the famed animated penguins dancing in the background.
Yet, there was something dark on the dance floor Monday night, as the judges took off the gloves rating "Tiger King" star Carole Baskin's attempts at dancing. And if you guessed that the animal activist danced to the "The Lion King," you were not alone.
Of course she did, in a resplendent lion costume that earned judges' raves. But her samba was mauled in a week that saw Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean show off a new Vin Diesel-style Aladdin and "Bachelor" star Kaitlyn Bristowe grit through her mysterious ankle injury.

Judge Derek Hough called for "more energy" and "sharper" technique with a 6 score. But the beaming Machado, who scored 19 out of 30 for judges' scores, will be back next week.
